Question: Will the NY Times endorse for the primaries?

[JohnLocke]

Haven't heard anything.

1. They have a native daughter in the race, so I more than half expect she

will win their endorsement.

I hope I'm wrong.

3. Oh for chrise sake

[JohnLocke]

4. Ah, found something from '04

Apparently they endorsed Kerry on February 26, 2004. Unless they decide against it, I suppose they'll wait until right before New York's Super Tuesday primary to endorse.

5. They also have a native son

but I can't imagine they'll endorse him. :P

6. I think they must consider him a bit of a mongrel pooch best kept tied to

the clothesline outdoors.

And properly so!

Hi, XemaSab. Good to run into you on DU.

8. See, I always look at the times as more of a national paper.

[saltpoint]

9. I think they consider themselves that, too, but I don't know if they can

withstand the pull to endorse What's-Her-Name.

I love the contra-indicator signals in your post field, hmnmf. It's got zing.

10. Trying to figure out what you just said to me, but i think its a compliment

so thanks?

[saltpoint]

12. Definitely a compliment. I did a poor job of trying to say I liked the two

different candidate signals in your post field.

I should have been clearer.

Sorry.

[MadBadger]

13. Thats what I was thinking you were saying.

Yea, I wrote recently a long post here about Voting with heart or mind. My heart is with Biden, but my brain is with Obama. So ive gotta show my support here for both.

[saltpoint]

14. I like it. I appreciate posts where praise is offered to more than one candidate.

I think it's the more realistic long-term landscape, and it's a damn bit more pleasant as well.

:thumbsup:

2. I imagine they will

on Feb. 3rd.

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. if I had to guess, I'd say they'd endorse Clinton and Romney

[fujiyama]

11. They'll endorse Hillary and McCain

[MaineDem]

15. The Boston Globe has and it's a NY Times-owned paper.

So I assume the Times will as well.
